I live in Machesney Park which is basically Rockford

I remember larry.Its been quite awhile since ive been in there but the last time i was he was in there working with his sister.good people.

Thanks for the heads up.I live right in machesney park so i will take a run down there and pick up some stuff for my sons freshwater.I dont think they carry any salt water stuff do they?

I have found that for me anyway smaller more frequent changes have worked great.I have a 55 gal reef and do a 5 gal change every 10 days or so.

I slept right through it here in Rockford.Wife said she felt it though

OK i have my sample pack mixed up in my 5 gal jug.Let it sit overnight.I have a 55 gal reef tank and was wondering if i should just do 1 gal changes over a period of a few weeks or would it be ok to throw the whole 5 gal into the tank at once.Ive been using IO salt since i set the tank up over a...

my clowns wont stick around for a cleaning either but i do have a spotted watchman goby that just lays there and enjoys.Its a riot to watch

Just got my sample in the mail yesterday and cant wait to try it after reading this thread.Of course our local petco doesnt carry this brand but i did find it online at premimum aquatics.There must be a run on it already because they are already sold out of the 200 gal buckets.

I had a cowfish in my tank for almost a year.He was the coolest thing on wheels lol.Everybody that came over just flipped out on him.Unfortunatley my novice knowledge at the time of how saltwater aquariums worked proved to be a tough lesson.55 gal tank and to many fish in it.I think i had to big...

Im going to watch for awhile and see what happens here.Im not sure how the clown would approach if it was trying to look for a host but he seems to be coming in with his mouth first.I will report back later to let you know how it is going.I really hope it is trying to host. :(

one of my clown fish has decided to pick on my tube worm.Every time he fans out as soon as the clown sees him he comes over and beats on him. This is something that has just started recently and it is only one of my clowns that is doing it and it seems to only happen when the lights are on.The...

That is just to funny :lol:

Thats a great idea timbo.Im going to try that one tonight with mine.Thanks

I just went to the same setup about a month ago on my 55.I dont have any anemones but my mushrooms and button polyps are growing like wild under this lighting.

I have a 55gal tank and do a 5 gal water change every 7 to 10 days.I am lucky enough to have a store in our area where you can fill your own jugs with ro water for about 2 dollars for 5 gal.I mix the salt right in the jug and let it sit for one or two days before using.I then siphon the tank...

preferred pets in janesville wis anything aquatics in rockford il I posted these at the link that reefrunner had to another thread outside of our regional forum.Both of these places are very nice.Preferred pets in janesville is a huge pet store with a good selection of salt water fish and...

Has anyone ever used the synthetic anemones?I never knew about these until i found them doing a search the other day.They seem to be a little high priced but are they an alternitive?I just added 2 clowns to my tank and was ready to get an anemone until i read this thread.I did not realize that...

I have an ecosystem on my 55 gal reef.It has performed flawlessly for over a year now.They are highly recommended by everyone i have talked to.I dont know what the difference is but i have an ecosystem 60 on my 55

my pacific blue tang played dead on me and i almost killed the poor thing. He was hiding in a hole in my liverock and i thought he was stuck.I grabbed him with a pair of tweezers and tried to pull him out.After a few pulls he finally started moving and i realized how stupid i really am lol.

yep they are perculas.I went with the tank raised only because from what i have been reading they may be a little more durable.Dont really know if that is true or not but i am just coming off of a disaster.Had a long horned cow fish that got sick and died and it appears it took most of my tank...

Just got my first 2 clown fish.I went with the tank raised and was just curious if these behave the same as the ones that are not tank raised.I dont know much about clowns as these are the first ones i have had.I have a watchman spotted golby that just lays there and lets my skunk shrimp clean...

I agree with more waterflow.Since i have added a second submersible pump to my 55 gal everything in the tank looks better

Just curious to see what test kits everyone prefers for testing alkalinity.I have tried fastest and salifert but it seems that the test results come out different between these two and im not sure where i should be at.I have a 55 gal reef and with fastest my alk tests out at around 3.75...
